1) For all input signals the total tIS(setup time) and tIH(hold) time) required is calculated by adding the datasheet value to

the derating value listed in above Table.

signal from the ac level to dc level is used for derating value(see Fig b.)

Hold(tIH) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of VIL(dc)max and the

region’, use nominal slew rate for derating value(see Fig.c) If the actual signal is earlier than the nominal slew rate line any-

For slew rates in between the values listed in table, the derating values may obtained by linear interpolation.

These values are typically not subject to production test. They are verified by design and characterization.

10. The maximum limit for this parameter is not a device limit. The device will operate with a greater value for this

parameter, but system performance (bus turnaround) will degrade accordingly.

11. MIN ( t CL, t CH) refers to the smaller of the actual clock low time and the actual clock high time as provided to the

device (i.e. this value can be greater than the minimum specification limits for t CL and t CH). For example, t CL and t CH

are = 50% of the period, less the half period jitter ( t JIT(HP)) of the clock source, and less the half period jitter due to

crosstalk (tJIT(crosstalk)) into the clock traces.

12. t QH = t HP – t QHS, where: tHP = minimum half clock period for any given cycle and is defined by clock high or clock

low ( tCH, tCL).

tQHS accounts for:

1) The pulse duration distortion of on-chip clock circuits; and

2) The worst case push-out of DQS on one transition followed by the worst case pull-in of DQ on the next transition,

both of which are, separately, due to data pin skew and output pattern effects, and p-channel to n-channel

variation of the output drivers.

13. tDQSQ: Consists of data pin skew and output pattern effects, and p-channel to n-channel variation of the output drivers

as well as output slew rate mismatch between DQS/ DQS and associated DQ in any given cycle.

14. DAL = WR + RU{tRP(ns)/tCK(ns)}, where RU stands for round up. WR refers to the tWR parameter stored in the MRS.

For tRP, if the result of the division is not already an integer, round up to the next highest integer. tCK refers to the

application clock period.

Example: For DDR533 at tCK = 3.75ns with tWR programmed to 4 clocks.

tDAL = 4 + (15ns/3.75ns) clocks = 4+(4) clocks = 8 clocks.

15. The clock frequency is allowed to change during self–refresh mode or precharge power-down mode. In case of clock

frequency change during precharge power-down, a specific procedure is required as described in section 2.9.

16. ODT turn on time min is when the device leaves high impedance and ODT resistance begins to turn on.

ODT turn on time max is when the ODT resistance is fully on. Both are measured from tAOND.
